Here’s a nice summary from @adrianwarnock of our recent conversation about John Newton. We’re on a trans-Atlantic mission to get more Christians to read more Newton.

Conversing with a brother who shares my gratitude for John Newton and the desire to introduce more Christians to his life and work, was a pleasure. Grateful to @adrianwarnock for the invitation.

Keir has given huge service to our country and I want to thank him for his leadership and dedication during such a challenging period.
His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process.
The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most and that is what it will get.
As we move forward, our priority must be to work together to get the country back to where we all want it to be. People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation. Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives.
The Labour movement has always been at its strongest when it looks forward with confidence and purpose. This is what we will do from here and we will make sure this transition is a positive process of renewal for our party and our country.

The UK loves replacing dutiful but uninspiring Roundheads with charismatic but muddled Cavaliers (and former mayors). Let’s hope it goes better than last time!

One reason Christianity resonates: it speaks to both head and heart. It tells a meaningful story about the world around us, but also the longings deep within us. It explains both the universe and the human experience within it.

Six ingredients of true repentance:
1. Sight of sin
2. Sorrow for sin
3. Confession of sin
4. Shame for sin
5. Hatred of sin
6. Turning from sin

God’s mercy includes not giving us what we deserve, but it’s even more than absence of judgment. It’s the presence of compassion.

This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.
At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.
Human life is a miracle.

What did Charles actually do? He praised NATO in front of its loudest critic. He championed climate action in front of a climate denier. He called for interfaith dialogue during an administration that has banned citizens from Muslim-majority countries. He praised checks and balances on executive power to a room full of lawmakers who have been unable to exercise them. He referenced the Middle East crisis that is currently straining the alliance he was there to celebrate. He defended the Royal Navy after Trump publicly insulted it. And he did all of this while receiving standing ovations, bipartisan laughter, and a dinner invitation.

Not, “Go & tell those hopeless cowards who all failed & deserted me..”
But, “Go tell my brothers..”

Trump spent years in a jealous rage, relentlessly slamming Barack Obama for unfreezing $1.7 billion of Iran's own money to Iran, calling it pathetic ransom money and proof of a disastrous, weak-kneed surrender. Driven by petty obsession, Trump spitefully ripped up the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, shredding every restraint on Tehran, and smugly promised the world a "better deal."
Instead, his childish vendetta supercharged Iran's nuclear program, pushing it dangerously close to the bomb. Now, in a breathtaking display of hypocrisy and failure, Trump is negotiating to hand Iran access to $20 billion in frozen funds — more than ten times what he once condemned — in exchange for the regime surrendering its near-weapons-grade uranium stockpile.
This is Trump at his most embarrassingly stupid: destroying a deal that had capped Iran's enrichment and kept it under watch, only to crawl back offering vastly more cash after his own incompetence made the threat far worse.
The man who mocked Obama for "giving" Iran money is now dangling a fortune in frozen assets while pretending it's a brilliant victory. It's not leadership — it's ego-driven incompetence and rank hypocrisy, a petty grudge that backfired spectacularly and left America facing a more expensive, more dangerous mess. Trump's jealous tantrum didn't make America safer; it just made the cleanup bill ten times bigger.

Every time I see @Franklin_Graham defend Donald Trump and forfeit his moral authority for the sake of political power… I think of these words of his dad:
"The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." -Rev. Billy Graham
I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts:
I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post.
When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad.
And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree.
I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.
